Tozny Authentication

Description

Simple passwords are easy to remember, which makes them easy to break. Complex passwords are hard to remember, and require that we write them down. Both of these leave organizations vulnerable to security threats.
Phones serve as a unique identifier, bringing together something you know and something you have for flexible, layered security. Simply put, phones eliminate the need for usernames and passwords.

The toznyauth WordPress plugin adds TOZNY as an authentication option to your WordPress.
